Balance Unbudgeted 190.40
No statement was turned over to me that anything had
been scent out of this $190.40. Action upon the aessimp-
tion that it had not been drawn unon, I dre;w requisitions
for some Durchakses which were made annroximating $100.00.
After this was done, I was in the business office one day
and found that this s-.m of ;190.40 had been spont in the
purchase of a movin, rcicture machine jointly with the
Colleg- of "'ngineering, the part of the G ollege of Agri-
culture amountinr to $212.00. he balance had been d-irect-
ed oaid Dro tata out of the deoartmental budgets.
An error of $50.00 In one of the salarieR to the cre-
dit of the College vvag folld, which artly covered the
overdraft. Irt my renort to you of 5entember 19th, I asked
for a general exnense allotment to cover such iteras of ex-
pense as i' is impossible Ao foresee and accurately estimate.
You told me that, in the rush of business at the mseeting
of the committee, thig item was overlooked. In oraer to
carry on the work of the office, I have been comnelled tO
make purchase of stamns, stntionery and incidental items
amounting to amnroximately $50.00.
